No one said marriage was Architecture, but I know a door Your anger shut mildly And did not wake a child.

"To arrive at the pulp means / a willful tear at the rind. / and once there? // perhaps stones, perhaps sugar."

When I saw two of Mookie Katigbak-Lacuesta’s poetry collections combined into one book at the Philippine Book Festival, I had to pick it up. Before this, I only saw a poem or two of hers on the Internet: one of which is “A Crust of Bread, and Such—” which I remember liking very much when I read it about two or three years ago.

Needless to say, I was more interested in her collection "Hush Harbor," which revolves around different themes like a lover's longing, desire, and colonization. And while true that it has some stunning lines, overall, I liked it less. I find the voice in this collection distant, making it harder for me to connect. The poems I found were too manicured, the metaphors masking instead of revealing the true emotions behind each piece.

I connected more with Burning Houses, which she called her "weird child" in the signed and dedicated copy I own. BH has a lot of domestic poems in it, which I can sense was deeply personal. I saw glimpses of her childhood, adolescence, and home life in this collection. One can almost see Mookie peeling away layers of memories and revealing to the reader whatever she finds—perhaps stone, perhaps sugar.

In both collections, I loved it best when Mookie was in conversation with different authors and works. Perhaps it's just me and my love of intertextuality. Still, her ideas as she conversed with other voices were interesting, sometimes even visceral.

Looking at Goodreads average rating on the two collections, I am not alone in my partiality towards Burning Houses. I hope she'll embrace this "weirdness" in her next collections. Because it's what makes me connect to her works more. It takes a lot to be vulnerable, but poems should reveal us, not conceal us.

Haro, Spain (No. 2)

During the Roman rule of Hispania, a fort called Castrum Bibilium was built in the cliffs of Bibilio. The first mention of Haro dates back to the year 1040, in a document of king García Sánchez III of Navarre"el de Nájera". Alfonso VI of León and Castile entrusted the tenencia to Diego López I de Haro after the death of Count García Ordóñez and the first of the lords of Biscay to attach the name of this town to his patronymic was Diego's son, Lope Díaz I de Haro.

Since the early 19th century Haro has established a worldwide reputation for being the most important wine town in the Rioja wine region and remains so today even though the number of Bodegas in the region have multiplied 8 times to 574 during the past 50 years (1970 to 2020). 

The key focus of this reputation is at the Barrio Estación where 7 of the best Rioja Bodegas are located - namely Bodegas Bilbainas (founded 1859); Compañia Vinícola del Norte de España [CVNE] f.1879; R. López de Heredia (f 1877); Bodegas Roda (f 1989); Bodegas Muga (f.1932); Bodegas La Rioja Alta S.A. (f.1890). 

In other parts of the town are Bodegas Martnez Lacuesta (f.1873); Bodega Berceo (f.1801); Carlos Serres (f.1896) and Ramon Bilbao (f.1924). Féderico Paaternina was founded in 1897 and became a very influential name in the wine business in Spain until its final collapse in 2010 when the Bodega closed and the brand of Banda Azul was sold to Berberana following a very difficult period after the appropriation of their owners Rumasa in 1983 by the new Spanish Government and the failure of the subsequent owner to keep the company as a going concern.

Movie Review: Spain's Oscar hopes ride on "Saturn Return (Segundo Premio)" a bio pic of the indie band Los Planetas

You don’t have to know the history and love the music of Spanish indie rock icons Los Planetas (“The Planets”) to connect with the new bio-pic about these ’90s fixtures of Spanish “alternative rock.” But it helps. Co-directors Isaki Lacuesta and Pol Rodríguez, working from a script by Lacuesta and Fernando Navarro, set out to film the “myth” and “lore” of the band, making their songs their…

Because there’s nothing I love more than my hunger That I carry with me like a world/ all desire/ Buried in my bones like shrapnel./ When your eyes Marry mine by the light of a jukebox/ like a call Connecting for one glowing moment,/ It has a certain wherewithal./ It leaves an empty streetcar Taking me to the next town/ and the next town/ and the next.

from “Ode to Blanche Dubois,” The Proxy Eros by Mookie Katigbak Lacuesta (Anvil Publishing, 2008)

TALLER - PARA MÍ LA EXPERIMENTACIÓN ES UN JUEGO Y PARA VOSOTRAS TAMBIÉN.

La compositora e intérprete Maite Arroitajauregi, alias Mursego, imparte un taller sobre la función de la música en el cine desde una práctica experimental.

Tomando como punto de partida su proceso compositivo para bandas sonoras, Mursego plantea cuestiones sobre cómo despegarse de las im��genes y contar una historia propia.

El taller tiene una parte teórica y otra práctica, que consiste en musicar secuencias míticas de la historia del cine. Para llevarlo a cabo, se plantean una serie de ejercicios donde se explorarán las posibilidades sonoras de nuestros cuerpos.

No hace falta tener conocimientos musicales para inscribirse; solo se requiere capacidad para jugar con la experimentación audiovisual.

Impartido por:  Maite Arroitajauregi, violonchelista de formación académica. Después de formar parte de bandas de pop-rock independientes como Anari, Lisabö o Xabier Montoia, en 2009 crea Mursego, su proyecto en solitario donde deriva hacia la composición y experimentación vocal y sonora. Ha publicado varios discos en los cuales define un lenguaje musical propio que hibrida vanguardia, folclore y música clásica.

Paralelamente, compagina el proyecto con colaboraciones en el mundo de la danza, el teatro y el cine. Destacan sus composiciones para cortometrajes dirigidos por Isaki Lacuesta y largometrajes como La casa Emak Bakia de Oskar Alegría (2012), Morir de Fernando Franco (2017), Aquelarre de Pablo Agüero (2020, premio Goya) y Sobre todo de noche de Víctor Iriarte (2023).

Mursego formó parte de la programación de En Familia en el festival She Makes Noise del año 2019 y para esta edición de cumpleaños hemos querido volver a contar con ella, desde su práctica como docente.

Días: 17 y 18 de octubre de 2024 Dirigido a: Público general (mayores de edad) Ubicación: Salas de trabajo de La Casa Encendida Duración: 8 horas de 16 a 20h Precio: 50€ Inscripciones aquí Requisitos: Los asistentes deben traer un ordenador portátil.
